Union campaigns focus on Macquarie Bank
Posted On: Wednesday, 7 June 2006

This Friday two key union campaigns join forces against the Macquarie Bank. 
 
Macquarie, nicknamed "the millionaires' factory" is one of the largest and fastest-growing investment banks in the world.  Aged care workers and cleaners are taking on this global giant to get a fair deal and we need your help.
 
Striking aged care workers from the Shield Chain of Rest Homes (owned by the Macquarie Bank) and cleaners campaigning for a fair deal for the work they do in Macquarie owned buildings will be protesting outside the Macquarie-owned Hewlett Packard building at 4 Viaduct Harbour, Auckland, this Friday morning between 8am and 9am. They will be demanding safe working conditions and a living wage.
 
Support the Fair Share for Aged Care and Clean Start campaigners and join us on the picket line this Friday morning!
 
To find out more or get involved in these campaigns go to the Service and Food Workers Union website, www.sfwu.org.nz

Where: 4 Viaduct Harbour, Auckland City.  (Map attached)
When: Friday 9th June at 8am till 9am
Who: You!  Supporting cleaners and caregivers
